Warm-up Activity 4.2
Ethnic slurs probably have been around since early
civilization and someone felt the need to insult another
person. Some slurs take a common everyday word and
redefine them to describe a specific group of individuals
in a negative manner. Take, for example, the word gay.
Its common meaning is to be happy, carefree, and
somewhat showy. Its cultural meaning evolved from a
variety of usages and appears in a modern day
dictionary in the 1930s as a pejorative prison slang
term meaning homosexual boy. Beginning in the 1960s
and the start of the Gay Rights movement in the United
States, the homosexual community embraced the term
as a description; today, it is the LGBT community’s
preferred term used to describe male homosexuals or
being homosexual. Southern hospitality is another term
that started as a negative ethnic slur; however, it has
evolved into a contemporary positive term. During the
U.S. Civil War, Union soldiers used the term
sarcastically to describe the less-than-friendly welcome
they received from Southern state citizens. Today,
however, the term is widely viewed as an altruistic
behavior in which people open their homes to
strangers.

Assignment
Based on what you learned about your own feelings
toward prejudice, your readings in the text, and the
films you viewed, design an educational intervention to
defuse prejudice in your local high school. The
intervention could be delivered at a school assembly or
as a unit in a high school advisory program. Notice the
particular racial and ethnic tensions that exist in the
school you select, and then choose the appropriate
material. Prepare a package of material that you would
give to the school counselors for their implementation
of the intervention. The package should include:
A transcript for a 10-minute lecture (2-3 pages)
A short play or interactive game that would engage
the students to consider the impact of prejudice. (You
may adapt an already existing play or game to fit your
particular environment, or you may create your own.)
An annotated list of at least five resources that the
school counselor could use to deal with prejudice and
its impact at the school. The annotated list should
include the name and author of the resource, type of
resource (article, film, etc.), where to access it, and a
short description of the resource.
To make your lecture engaging, you may depart
from usual writing form and organization and choose to
use anecdotes, humor, or other speaking tools;
however, be sure, to cite your sources appropriately in
the print version of the lecture that you submit. Be sure
to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic
Integrity Policy.
